Competitive Program
At ONE Movement Dance Centre our goal is to train dancers that have strong technique, impressive performance skills and love to dance.
We believe that you can be an amazing dancer and an amazing human at the same time. Building an atmosphere where communication is key, everyone feels welcome and the focus is on the students.
Finding the right program for your dancer starts with the time your family and dancer can commit to training and rehearsals along with future goals.

We work hard at ONE Movement to try and keep classes of different disciplines and levels back-to-back to allow for less days of training during the week. Keeping in mind that the dance centre offers 10 styles of dance, dancers at Intermediate and Advanced levels typically dance 4 – 5 days a week.
